2. What is Calibration?
Calibration is the process of comparing a measuring instrument’s readings
with a known, accurate standard to ensure its measurements are correct,
reliable, and traceable to national or international standards, and adjusting
it if necessary to minimize errors

3. Importance of Calibration
• Accuracy – Ensures instruments give correct measurements.
• Reliability – Maintains consistent performance over time.
• Safety – Prevents accidents caused by faulty readings.
• Compliance – Meets industry standards and regulations.
• Traceability – Links measurements to recognized standards.

4. Indian Standards (IS)
Indian Standards (IS):1. *Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS):* BIS
is the national standards body of India, responsible for
developing and maintaining Indian Standards.
2. *Standards Development:* BIS develops standards for
various products, services, and systems to ensure quality,
safety, and performance.

5. International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a global standards
organization that prepares and publishes international standards for all
electrical, electronic, and related technologies — often called
electrotechnology.
It works to ensure uniformity and safety in areas like power generation,
transmission, electronics, renewable energy, smart grids, and more. The
IEC brings together experts from different countries to create technical
standards that are accepted worldwide, helping industries, governments,
and consumers use compatible, safe, and efficient technologies.
